About

I’m Nathan Reed, a LegalTech AI Engineer and full stack developer with 8+ years of experience building production-grade platforms that help regulated teams research, extract, validate, and act on legal and compliance information. I specialize in RAG and LLM systems with hybrid retrieval (semantic + keyword), citation grounding, structured outputs, and confidence scoring—so outputs are explainable and audit-ready.

I build multi-step agent workflows using LangGraph-style orchestration and add human-in-the-loop review gates for sensitive decisions. Alongside Python/FastAPI and Next.js/TypeScript, I design multi-tenant SaaS architectures with RBAC, versioning, and audit logs, transforming complex regulatory requirements into defensible, low-hallucination results for high-stakes use cases.

LegalTech AI Architect | RAG, Agents, FastAPI · NorthBridge AI SolutionsNov 2023 – Feb 2026 · 2 yrs 4 mos

Architected and productionized LangGraph-based multi-step AI agent workflows for legal research and compliance use cases, including extraction, validation, conflict detection, retention schedule generation, and human-in-the-loop reviewer approval with full auditability and versioned decision provenance. Built hybrid RAG pipelines combining semantic embeddings, keyword/BM25 search, and metadata filtering (e.g., jurisdiction and document type) across vector stores (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate) to improve source-grounded retrieval and traceability. Implemented structured output generation with JSON schema/Pydantic validation, confidence scoring per claim, unsupported-claim detection, and conflict/consistency checks to reduce hallucinations. Delivered multi-tenant SaaS capabilities (Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, AWS) including RBAC, audit logs, review queues, and export-ready reporting.

RAG Platform Engineer | LangGraph, pgvector, LLMs · Apex Process IntelligenceFeb 2022 – Oct 2023 · 1 yr 9 mos

Engineered production RAG pipelines over legal, financial, operational, and policy corpora using OpenAI embeddings and hybrid semantic + keyword (BM25) retrieval with pgvector and metadata filters for precise, source-traceable retrieval. Designed multi-step agent workflows (research → retrieval → extraction → validation → structured generation) incorporating confidence scoring, citation mapping, unsupported-claim detection, and JSON schema-enforced outputs. Added defensible validation layers and human-in-the-loop review checkpoints to improve stakeholder trust and suitability for regulated enterprise environments.
